Deep gas cleaning of highly permeating impurities using a membrane module with a feed tank

Deep gas cleaning of highly permeating impurities using a membrane module with a feed tank has been considered. Two modes of the process has been studied, one with a constant degree of separation in the membrane module and the other with a constant concentration of impurities in the stream directed to the receiver tank. The degree of removal and the time of the process have been calculated. It has been shown that the second mode is somewhat more cost-effective because of the lack of mixing of streams with different concentrations and the absence of the lost work of separation.
